Testimonials

SoundTouch clients figure very dearly to us and we are pleased to share some of the comments we have received recently.

Sir Charles Parson School

"Great to hear from you last night. We're still trying to find the "quotes" document we made straight after our activity week so I have been to see a couple of the members of staff this morning. They are happy to be cited. A special needs assistant (actually two, one overheard and joined in) said "Oh I loved that, when is she coming again, I loved seeing the childrens responses. I know it was for the children but got so much out of it personally too." "It really met the needs of our pupils." "She was so respectful towards the pupils, she recognised them as teenagers and individuals, it's no easy thing when faced with a group of "our" special people." " It usually takes ages for the pupils to be aware of what is happening but they were responding straight away. The pupils became alert very quickly." A teacher said she was really impressed at the response several pupils, especially "M" (a teenager with physical, visual and profound learning difficulties) had to the greeting song. She has used the "finger on throat" greeting with "M" ever since and found she remembers it and begins to respond much faster than before. The teacher learned several simple techniques that day that she now uses in class with the pupils. She would also love to support your work and really wants you to come back soon. (I've given her your details as she'd like a session for herself one day. Everyone was in full agreement that your work really supports "our" special children in so many ways."

Feedback from a group event February 2011

"You are an inspiration and have to tell you that when you are gonging you are so powerfully present and a true Gong Master. You have the power and ability to create a palpable energy of renewal and healing, connection and balance. I'm still mulling over the total events of the weekend!"
Carolan Evans, London

Sacred Sound

‘During the sound lodge sessions I feel so safe, nurtured and cared for. As the session deepens, this enables me to let go of my mind chatter and deeply connect to the higher energies and vibrations present. The sessions enable me to feel total connection with my body, with nature and the present moment. The sounds and chanting feel as though they cleanse the energetic pathways in my body and bring my being back into harmony. It is such an amazing gift for my soul and such a worthwhile experience to attend these sessions.’ --
Tracy Greener

Sacred Sound Toning and Chanting

I very much enjoyed the afternoon, thank you. , the banter over tea seems an essential part of the experience, to share such a workshop experience as a group it seems somehow essential to share some ordinary worldly words afterwards. In terms of written feedback that might be helpful to others thinking of coming along for the first time I would just like to offer that.. .'... in practical terms it consists of a nice drive out to the countryside to sit in a lovely yurt for a couple of hours with like minded people.... Listening to the beautiful sound of sacred chants... made even more special as the resonance of my own voice as part of that sound feels very inclusive....magic !...and I can't even sing !'.
Wendy Hall

Soundtouch 'Wilderness' Session:

"I want to say that apart from the beautiful setting and good structuring and leadership, there was for me the feeling of heartening and willingness to let go. Being outdoors takes away some of that shyness."
Group leader

Soundtouch Group Session @ Core Music:

"A belated thank you on behalf of the dance group for last Friday evening. Just wanted to let you know we all enjoyed the gongs very much. The relaxation stayed with me all weekend which is unusual!"

Soundtouch Personal Sessions:

"I had my blood pressure taken just after my first Soundtouch session and it had gone down significantly. I then had another two sessions and my blood pressure remains stable."
Healthcare professional

"I have had several Soundtouch sessions with Johanna. The sessions are hard to describe as they vary according to my needs at the time. Sometimes I have felt very relaxed as I respond to the sounds. At other times my body feels as if it is physically changing with the vibrations of the sound waves. Later I am aware of feeling calm, with less physical discomfort and often energized by the experience. I have terminal cancer and plan on continuing Soundtouch as a therapy which contributes to my peace of mind, sense of wellbeing and delight in my life."
Lynn, Special Needs Teacher

"At the end of the Soundtouch session I felt very balanced and in control of my energy. For the rest of the day I found it easy to focus on tasks and deal with demands without getting flustered. As a result of this experience I would be happy to recommend it to anyone who enjoys feeling calm and relaxed."

Soundtouch School Session:

"My son came home from school that day after the Soundtouch session very happy and alert and normally he is very sleepy."
Hexham parent

"My daughter responded so well to the session, particularly the Gong and Crystal Singing Bowl. Thank you for a great morning."
Hexham parent

Soundtouch Special Needs Session:

"I felt all the youngsters who attended the 'Soundtouch Touching the Sound' Workshop benefitted from it in their own way. A lovely peaceful and interactive experience."
Project Manager Tynedale Activities for Special Children

Winter Solstice 2010

"Thanks for organising the gong session in the yurt over the solstice weekend. It was really good to spend some time taking stock and thinking of all the activities that had taken place over the last 12 months. There is something magical about spending some time in quiet contemplation with others in a beautiful setting and backed with the resonance of your expert use of the gongs. It really created a feeling of peace and space for me. I look forwards to future events"
